I can tell you, having had repairs done on a few BV bags over the years, that inside zipped pocket is where they go “in”, so the seam would be oddly raised if that occurred, and that can be where the missing tag has gone.

Would love to see the mirror as well!

Hi! I thought I’d give you guys an update on the Mini Cesta mystery. I‘ve also attached photos of the plastic mirror that was enclosed in the zip pouch. Before I returned the bag, I decided to reach out to an SA who had helped me previously. I ended up sharing the photos with the store manager who asked me to send the bag directly to the store vs. back to the warehouse. Turns out, the bag was authentic. It just wasn’t new and it had possibly been repaired. The retailer is planning to host holiday pop-up shops with previously-owned items in a few of its stores this fall and these items are being stored in a warehouse that also fulfills online orders. Apparently, the bag was routed into the wrong inventory system in the warehouse and ended up on the website for sale. A full refund and apologies all around from the retailer. No one, however, can explain that mirror.

Hi!! Could you tell me if the bag is fake or not? I tried to make the Entrupy certificate but they said that there’s a difference between this leather and normal leather they used to authenticate. There’s no tag inside and I found out the same (from the same line) bag on VC

Hi, I recently purchase a BV mini Jodie from the Saks Fifth Avenue website - it had been sold out but one 9A9DED30-78A4-4DE5-859D-17B38215A4E6.jpeg304C37F4-EF9C-42A1-8EA0-278D013EEA48.jpeg5F388024-A221-40EE-B53E-2440BE54D49A.jpeg49D468D4-D546-4C2A-88E9-30174CEBA123.jpeg466252DF-3409-421D-905E-45A9CBA84F83.jpeg0E34BD9A-2215-41EB-B041-9E10D5B83143.jpegA2BBB672-C3E6-4B18-8527-4269AB986CA4.jpegB03AB906-3F62-4DD1-BCEB-34C6BA918CE9.jpeg1917B8F9-2F14-4A28-89A6-C904284B4486.jpegrecently became available. I received a bag flat wrapped in plastic, no dust bag, no authenticity card and with a remade tag attached to the zipper. This is my first BV bag purchase so I am not familiar enough to know whether I should be worried about authenticity. Please help! Thank you!

The Mini Jodie is authentic, IMO :flowers:
It wouldn't have come packaged like that directly from BV, but I suppose that may be how Saks ships out their items.

PSA: IMO, it's always a good idea to have ALL purchases authenticated when they aren't bought directly from a Bottega Veneta boutique.

Thank you so much for your help! I feel more relieved now. I’m assuming that it was previously purchased and then returned before me which would explain the poor packaging. I contacted Saks regarding my concerns but wanted to verify authenticity before making any further decisions. Could you recommend an authenticity service which specializes in BV? Thanks again! I really appreciate your help!!
